How many books does it take to make a kid gay?

Only one. But the kid has to really, really be gay.

#ItsNotTheBooks

@AlliFlowers , I am at a loss on this. What can an individual do? My state is currently fairly safe for trans folks, Kentucky. But we may slip into darkness here too. So offering shelter to people from other states may not work. But I strongly advise people to flee those states that are falling, now. It's 1930s Germany in Florida and Texas right now. Just being noisy isn't enough, I don't think.

Yesterday I made a wee loop of some figures dancing by a river, & only realised after posting that I'd made a #RiverDance and should have, you know, done the *proper* dance.

So I decided to give it a go.

It did not go well, but it made me laugh so...

This is good! You can't address systemic racism without first admitting its existence.

BTW, they got Marxist diversity offices? When did that happen? I must have missed something during my Texan sojourn.

If you respond, “A reason for living” when a store employee asks if they can help you find something, they will leave you alone.

🩸ST governors & elected officials no longer hide their racism, in fact they celebrate it by enacting policies & laws that're discriminatory. The DOJ must step up: AR AG Griffin filed 4 briefs that aim to repeal fed desegregation supervision that'd would effectively exempt 4 school dists. from state laws preventing students from enrolling in schools outside their home dists. -dovetails with the gov's AR LEARNS Act -EDU overhaul package -promotes vouchers: https://www.rawstory.com/arkansas-desegregation/
